Bill WattersonCalvin and Hobbes1989-90
Calendar Cover Watercolor Illustration Original Art (c. 1988).Calvin and Hobbes fans, feast your eyes on this --it's
the real deal! As all comic art fans know, few pieces of
original art are as scarce and sought after as a Calvin and
Hobbes original by the characters' creator Bill Watterson.
Since Watterson is one of the few cartoonists to shun the
merchandising bonanza of a popular character and is a very private
person, his artwork is in incredibly high-demand. Only a very small
handful of originals have ever come onto the market, so don't miss
out on your chance to win this gem, only the second such piece
we've offered -- an incredible, published beauty featuring the two
main characters from the most popular and fondly remembered
newspaper strip since Peanuts. The image area of this ink
and watercolor masterwork is 13" x 10", and the art is in Excellent
condition. This piece has a special provenance as it was in the
collection of one of the American comic strips' most important
historians and feature writers, Rick Marschall. Inscribed and
signed at the lower right, "For Rick Marschall, 'komic konnoisseur'
Bill Watterson."
